I dont know if this has anything to do with the sudden problem, but I never had a problem with my clutch before. My car is at 190k. Last week I changed the tranny fluid because of rough shifting and occasional grinding. It fixed everything now my tranny shifts are all smooth. NIght and day difference. But today I ran into a new problem. I parked, got into my car started it pressed down on the clutch and the clutch wouldnt disengage because it wouldnt let me shift into any gears...so I turned of the car shifted into gear and it worked from there on. Again..later today I stopped at a light pressed down on the clutch and it wouldnt let me shift so I turned the car off then shifted and started it back up and it worked fine. What seems to be causing this problem?

That's not entirely true.
In December, I was on my way to my graduation ceremony when a similar situation happened to me. I tried to push in the clutch and it felt like I was trying to stand on a leafspring. It would work intermittently, but I had to shut the car off to put it into gear then start the car in gear. When I got the motor out, this is what I found. ![]() ![]() Those pieces of the plastic bushings were getting caught behind the pressure plate springs, causing the pedal to feel very stiff. Replaced the clutch and haven't had the issue since. -------------------- ~bloodMoney
